Semiconductor Scanning Electron Microscope Metrology

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides high-quality surface and cross-sectional imaging of 3D structures. As semiconductor feature sizes continue to decrease in response to consumer and industry demands, nanoscale metrology becomes an increasingly important contributor to process and device design yield. Accurate and repeatable nanoscale measurements of critical dimensions require high-resolution SEM imaging and extremely accurate magnification calibration.

The ultra-high-resolution automated SEM capabilities offered by Thermo Fisher Scientific, when combined with our industry-leading software solutions, perform imaging and metrology with the automation, precision, and robustness needed to meet the challenges of leading memory and logic customers. Leveraging NIST-traceable calibration standards, mature imaging automation (both cross-sectional and top-down), and next-generation machine-learning-enabled metrology, Thermo Scientific automated SEMs provide cost-effective 3D metrology for direct process and device monitoring, as well as faster time to market.

Thermo Fisher Scientific offers a range of SEM metrology tools for critical dimension analysis, including the Thermo Scientific Verios 5 SEM with Thermo Scientific AutoSEM Software for top-down SEM metrology.
